Long shots
All of us here at Dakota are mindless movie viewers, so it's a pleasure to discover the blog "Daily Film Dose" created by Canadian filmmaker and critic Alan Bacchus which will undoubtedly make us a more appreciative audience and improve our critical eye. For example, he has collected a series of long takes for our perusal. Of course we have seen every movie cited, and never even noticed.
As long as we're on the subject of movies, and it's almost the weekend, if you have a spare hour you might want to catch another long shot. If nothing else, it will improve your ability to view some iconic visuals a bit more critically. Given the depth of criminal behavior in the Bush administration that is slowly being revealed 9/11/Mysteries wouldn't be a bad way to while away your spare time.
Photo note: Our own little long shot down the corridor at Jim's Tibetan Hotel in Dali, China.
